Research Leadership Development and Academic Inequality
Research leadership is central to shaping research culture, advancing institutional excellence, and fostering innovation, yet opportunities for leadership development remain unevenly distributed across disciplines, career stages, and professional roles. Inequalities in access risk reproducing privilege in academic research, raising questions about how programmes can support equitable participation and career progression. This paper examines equal…

This paper outlines the 'experience-dependent' nature of brain development in infancy and the concept of critical periods in such development. The effects of deprivation on child development are illustrated and case material from a child who was institutionalized during his second year is used as …
